31 msgtool.exe / shmtool.exe / semtool.exe / semstat.exe
32 These programs were taken from "Linux Programmer's
33 Guide - Chapter 6" with a few changes so that they
34 build cleanly. The original versions were written
35 by (C)opyright 1994-1995, Scott Burkett.
36 ** MODULE: msgtool
37 A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style
38 Message Queues
39 ** MODULE: semtool
40 A command line tool for tinkering with SysV style
41 Semaphore Sets
42 ** MODULE: semstat
43 Another tool for tinkering with Semaphore Sets
44 ** MODULE: shmtool
45 A command line tool for tinkering with shared memory
46 For information on how to use these tools, call them
47 with the '-?' option. Also, see the Linux Programmer's
48 Guide -- the IPC chapter is included with the cygipc
49 distribution.
50
51
52 These tools can only be built if IPC functions are
53 available. On cygwin, that (currently) means "only if
54 the cygipc package is installed" or "if using a cygwin
55 kernel newer than 1.5.5"
56 (GPL)
57

64 references to `.', `..', and symlinks resolved.

66
67 lpr.exe
68 can be used to spool to a windows printer
69 (GPL)
70
71 mkshortcut.exe
72 can be used to create "full featured" windows
73 shortcuts (as opposed to cygwin-symlinks implemented
74 using .lnk files, which aren't really "full-featured")
75 (GPL)
76
77 readshortcut.exe
78 can be used to read information from windows shortcuts (such
79 as target, icon, window state, etc)
80 (GPL)
81
82 cygstart.exe
83 A command-line tool which allows you to let Windows start a program or open
84 a file or URL in its associated application. It is similar to the Windows
85 command-line start command.
86 (GPL)
87
88 ipck:
89 IPC utility brought over from cygipc.
90 (GPL)
91
92 (*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket
93 conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally
94 part of the UCB BSD distro.
95 <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html>:
96 Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing
97 on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the
98 Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the
99 University of California on July 22 1999. He states
100 that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety."
101
102 Note1: "last.exe" and "utmpdump.exe" were previously provided by
103 cygutils. However, once the `sysvinit' package was added to
104 the cygwin distribution, they were removed. They are now
105 provided by `sysvinit' -- which is where we took them from
106 in the first place.
107
108 Note2: "cal.exe" "col.exe" "colcrt.exe" "colrm.exe" "column.exe"
109 "ddate.exe" "getopt.exe" "mcookie.exe" "namei.exe" "rename.exe"
110 "rev.exe"
111 were previously provided by cygutils. However, they were removed in
112 version 1.3.10 because the `util-linux' package was added to the
113 cygwin distribution, and it provides those utilities. In fact,
114 it was from util-linux that the versions in cygutils were originally
115 derived.
